There were race riots at East High School 40 years ago - 40 YEARS AGO! I can’t believe white parents are willing to put their children in harms way by sending them to the Kansas City Missouri school district. Decent black parents don’t even send their kids to that district - they left years ago. It’s a ghetto, drug infested cesspool and unless that’s what you want for your kids you shouldn’t be there.

I wonder how many white students, when they are less than 5% of a largely black and Hispanic school, could report a positive experience on the whole.

It seems naive for a white family to move into such a neighborhood and to send their children to such a school.

There are government schools in this nation that are sooooo horrific it would be better for the child to never attend. It would be better even if the consequences were complete illiteracy and innumeracy.

Geeze! Illiteracy and innumeracy can be fixed. Burned to a crisp and dead can't.
